i was out the other nite and had a bit of a tango with my mates dc5 off the lights when something went rather badly wrong...my car started weaving badly and was hearing bad clunking noises.my car had been struggling to gain traction off the lights in the 'moist' conditions. this has now aused me to take the decision to take the car off the road. i have several suggestions as to what it might be...CV joint,the driveshaft is knackered or the LSD is shot.(i forgot to mention my teg is now lowered about 70mm)
assuming its the latter(LSD)i want to go balls out and go for a somewhat harsher quaiffe item for an LSD,get a close ratio gearbox and put i twin plated clutch in there. ,my thought process being that this is the perfect excuse to upgrade these bits.however my knowledge is very limited on this sort of thing so could anyone recommend a good 'set up'? the car is mainly for road use but will be taking her on track aswell.
also would it be more worth my while getting all my camber kits and stiffer springs for my coilovers and getting all my geometry sorted before i spent money on the LSD,gearbox,clutch?
can anyone please recommend items that would be good for this kind of use?e.g.clutch,LSDs and what sort of drive to get on a gear box?i dont have a budget really...will just take the time and build it up.
these are just general musings as my car starts its 4 or 5 month stretch off the road and my opportunity to go nuts on her opens up a bit.
cheers for your help in advance
by the way im taking it to honda to get their more professional diagnostic advise on the situation next week so i will no better where i need to be spening my money first!!!!!
